GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
IN DURANGO VILE.
Fonr Prominent Helena Gentlemen
Held Prisoners by 200 impec-
unious Miners at Gregory.

sIn days of old when knights were bold
ken prisoners and held as hostages for the
fultillment of some duty on the part Of the
captiyes and some demand on the part OF
the captors. But in these days, especially
in Montana, it is quite unusual, and when,
yesterday it was announced that II. w.
Child, E. w. Bach, "A. j. Seligman and
Thos. L.. West were captives in the hands
of 900 brawny and determined miners at
Gregory, it aroused a strongthrill of inter
est among the Helena friends Of the be
sieged quartette.
On Wednesday the four gentlemen. all
of whom are connected with the Gregory
company, went out to the camp bearing
orders from the head Office in New York
to Immediately close doWnthe works. Tn
fortunately, however, they did not bear
the pay for the months of December and
January due to the goo laborers. a sum
amounting to about $4,000. At Z o'clock
yesterday morning General Manager Child
announced the closing down Of the works.
There was a pause while the men awaited
an intimation that their wages would be
promptly paid, but such an announcement
was not forthcoming and the natural result
was a strong feeling of anger and a de-
termination not to loose their hard-earned
wages.
At o'clock the four Helena gentlemen
We're quietly surrounded and informed that
they were prisoners until such time as they
made arrangements to pay over the money
due the miners. They were subjected to
no violence or offensive language, but six
determined miners accompanied them on
their rambles about the camp, and kept
them in custody. AT the same time the
miners took possession of the pumps and
other works of the mine, and every saloon
In the camp was shut up. There was no
dlsordsr whatever, and no offensive dem
cnstrations of any kind. The men asked if
they might be allowed to take from the ore
in sight in the mine sufficient ore to Day
their claims, alleging that it was ten times
enough to satisfy the amount due them.
Meanwhile the prisoners had t%elephoned
to Wickes and thence telegraphed to the
Gregory Office at New York the situation
OF affairs. In response, the First National
bank of Helena was authorized by the
.Seligmans of New York to nav off the
claim. At about one o'clock a meeting Of
eaptors and captives was held in the shaft |
house, at which a grand pow-wow ensued
The result was the release of Messrs. Child
Bach and West, who Immediately made
tracks for Helena, arriving here last even
ing. A. J. Seligman was held until 6
O'Clock last evening when he, too, was
released and probably reached Helena last
evening.
Manager Child, with whom an Indepen-
dent reporter talked last evening, was
cheerful over the matter and did not blame
the miners a particle. He said that during
period of durance the men were all So
and well-behaved and gave ever assur-
that the Helena men should receive
no harm. The money has been telegraph
ed from New York to pay the claim, and
50 ends an amusing if not serious e%ncoun-
er:-Indsrendsnt.

PRIZE POULTRY.
Awards Made at the State Exhibit
tiOu of Poultry.

The poultry show at market hall was
open all day yesterday to the public, but
the attendance was so slim and 50 little
interest manifested in the eXhibitiC II
that the directors at a meeting i'll the
afternoon decided to close the show last
evening. The principal cause of tie
non-SucceSS of this exhibition lies in the
fact that the show was not thoroughly
advertised. Certainly the display of
poultry was a most excellent one. and
was deserving of the hearty cOnsidera-
ton and encouragement of the people.

birds Yesterday and made the awards.
The first prize on black COchinS was
awarded 10 Charles III. Lemon, of As

AN INVALID LAW
A Case of Special Legislation Sat
Down on by the Supreme Court.


The supreme court yesterday declared
invalid and unconstitutional an act
passed last winter, authorizing the vii
lage of Sank Rapids to issue bonds to
the amount of $4,000 for alleged i'm
provements in the Mississippi river.
The case came into court on injunction
proceedings, brought by Joseph
Coats against the village coun-
ciImen to restrain them from
taxing the people with these
bonds as the proposed dam which they
were to pay for was simply a private
one, and did not benefit the public.
The court sustains his position and
criticises the legislation that put the
law on the books. The bill in question
is. one TO enable the village to issue
these bonds to build the dam, and states
that the piers for the dam shall also be
used as the SubStructure for bridge;
also to give the village author
ity to secure water from the
river for the fire department.
The court finds that the improvement is
destined to benefit private concern,
the water power is not public, nor the
property of the village, but is wholly
under private control. The provision
fer the fire department is not Eeces-
sary one, because if the village had de-
partment it would have the right to use
waters under the village control, as the
main part of the bill indicates to be the
fact with the water in question. The
decision says, an endeavOr seems to
have been made to give the color of
public purpose by authorizing the coun-
ell TO get a supply for the fire depart
ment. when the main purpose was to
improve a private water power. The
public provisions are incidental to the
main object. Here is the syllabus:

Campbell ct al. as village council of

SyllabuS-An act authorizing the IS
sue of bonds of a village corporation to
aid in the construction of dam for the
purpose of improving private water
power, is unconstitutional as providing
for public taxation for private pur

act provides for taxation are partly
public and partly private and the
amount to be raised for each cannot be
